In pure FIX terms, they can be anything, but when you setup a connection
with a broker, they will generally assign you IDs to use.

I am planning to use the 'Heartbeat messages', Would you normally use these

Show what status? FYI, Heartbeat messages are only sent when the connection
has been idle for some amount of time. If you have a connection that is bus=
y
all day with order- or quote-flow, no heartbeats will be sent.
